| Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer? @bigburban , you are correct! Wow. That system is pretty cute and good looking. But, not what we were looking for specifically. @mcslipp , HAAAAAAA! | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) Veerosi, I have a very similar amp to yours. My 805 amp is reportedly built in the same factory as yours. while I haven’t heard the Galion, I’m very familiar with Doge (the manufacturer) and Primaluna (your previous amp). Do you like the... | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! OP, you have a very nice beginner system. Shoot, that is a worthy system of more than just beginners. Because you have such a decent system, I would do what others say above and just go right to the speakers. I'd upgrade the loudspeakers first ... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp Thanks @jjss49 ! I should note that the Willsenton is a Chinese made amp. It is reportedly made in the same factory as line magnetic. The product is very similar. They also reportedly have service centers here that can work on it, but I have n... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @stereo5 At $3k, I highly recommend the Willsenton R800i. It’s 45w SET. To get this power it has a massive transformer and weighs a ton. It has 3 inputs, remote, VU meters —not to mention it sounds lovely and robust. | |
| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? @boostedis , Agreed. I’m not saying cables don’t sound different. But I’ve cut open and have seen several cut open/disassembled cables and it’s hard to justify some of the prices charged. I changed bananas to spades on a set of Analysis Plus cabl... | |
| Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer? I think the point would be a <$1k sub generically designed isn't as attractive to someone shelling out $6k, $12k, $25k for the upper end of Heritage speakers. I'm talking about a sub designed to compliment the Heritage line specifically. Certai... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I'm going to open mine up soon. It has to be done. | |
| Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer. So curious as to cost. Will folks pay $300 for a 12ax7? | |
| Tubes or Solid State? I would trust Stereophile over Audio Science Review. If you are not familiar with ASR, please note--they do not listen to gear. Listening--their argument runs--is subjective--and subjectivity tells us nothing. If you listen to ASR, you are buyin... | |
| Subwoofer Choice I have two REL T9is. I think they are particularly musical, well built and a great value. I’ve tried other stuff but kept coming back to REL. I do wish REL had an APP but I get their reasoning for not going that route. | |
| Tubes or Solid State? Oh, and I had some wonderful sessions driving SS amps with the Freya. | |
| Tubes or Solid State? +1 on the Schitt Freya recommendation. I owned one and am of the opinion they are hard to beat into the low thousands. Very reliable. Dead quiet. Good resale. Lots of input and output options. Quality parts inside. | |
| New Class D amplifiers I’m a tube head and never warmed to many Class D amps. But, as time went on and I heard more Class D offerings that and began to find them sonically appealing. About a year ago, I bought a "summer amp" to substitute in for my tube amps during the... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i For those of us 800i 805 owners with high efficiency speakers, have you tried running a lower gain 12 volt tube in the 12ax7 slot? I found the 805 wattage to keep my volume limited to about 9:30 o'clock or lower. I switched down to a 12au7 (subst... |
